Ice Scientist

Careers in the Frozen Antarctic

By

Imagine a place where summer reaches only 36ºF. at most, and where the sun does not set. Each year, thousands of brave scientists travel to the frozen wasteland of Antarctica in hopes of learning more about our planet. Travel with them to this icy continent to learn about the careers of Antarctic scientists and the things they study.

"This is one of the few books I've ever reviewed that I couldn't put down. The book explores different careers in the Antarctic using examples of real scientists in the field . . . The reading flows so easily that younger students with an interest in science would enjoy the book as well. I highly recommend this book for students who want to explore scientific fields as well as increase their knowledge of extreme environments on Earth. It would also make a great read aloud for younger children to stimulate their interest in science."

"The books' greatest strength is in the variety of first-hand accounts and the scientists' breadth of experience. Both books have appealing color photographs and an attractive design that will appeal to general readers as well as to those interested in pursuing these exciting careers."
